Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
As mitral valve is repaired & aotic valve is replaced with a pacemaker implanted
all these parameters indicate that your heart function is compromised
and this would be the reason for your breathlessness
regarding precautions i would suggest you to limit your physical activities like heavy work and regularly use your medicines and regular followups with your doctor
Discuss this with your doctor and then decide.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
